Concerning BENJAMIN PIATT JR I have his death date as 22 March 1899 and that of his wife, ELMIRA LAVINIA "MYRA" BAYLESS, as 23 Jan 1902. Both are buried in the Nixon Christian Union Church Cemetery on Ellison's Ridge in Adams Co OH. Source: Piatt Family Newsletter, Volume 6, 1991. Everton's Handy Book for Genealogists states that the Adams County OH Courthouse burned in 1910 with some records saved. The Piatt Family Newsletter does not give a source for the death dates but a contributing editor for that issue was David D Piatt of Stout, Adams Co OH. PFN also mentions an obituary for Benjamin Piatt Jr so perhaps that newspaper can be found on microfilm. -- Laverne Ingram Piatt Ontario, OH
